Indications

Benzydamine + Chlorhexidine gluconate is an anti-inflammatory antiseptic solution. You can use it to relieve pain and inflammation from conditions of the mouth and throat, such as tonsillitis, sore throat and mouth ulcers. It may also be used for pain after mouth or throat surgery, or after dental procedures.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Benzydamine belongs to a family of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These medicines reduce pain and inflammation by cutting down the production of hormone-like substances that drive the inflammatory response. Benzydamine does not treat the underlying cause of the inflammation, though, so it shouldn't be used for long periods without medical advice. It also has a local anaesthetic action, which gives extra pain relief.

Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic. It kills or stops the growth of many kinds of bacteria that can cause pain and inflammation in conditions of the mouth and throat. Chlorhexidine also helps to treat and prevent gingivitis, and it reduces the build-up of dental plaque.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: This Anti-inflammatory Antiseptic Solution can be used as a gargle for throat conditions, or as a mouth rinse for oral lesions such as mouth ulcers. It can also be a short-term alternative to oral hygiene procedures. You can use it every 1.5 to 3 hours as needed (check the packaging for the dose instructions). It works best undiluted, but you may dilute it with water if it stings or burns. Don't use it for more than 7 days without medical or dental advice. For a sore throat, if symptoms haven't improved after a few days of treatment, consult your doctor, because the condition may need treatment with antibiotics. This Anti-inflammatory Antiseptic Solution should not be swallowed, so spit it out after each use. Brush your teeth thoroughly before using this solution, to minimise the risk of discolouring the teeth.
